2. GETTING STARTED
2.0 INSTALLING THE CHART PLOTTER
The CP1150C can be bracket mounted or flush mounted. If you decide to overhead
bracket mount the CP150C, STANDARD HORIZON offers a overhead mounting
bracket part number RR150003CP that will be needed for this installation.
For Flush mounting, please use the template and hardware supplied.

GPS Chart 150C
Page 11
2.1 INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky. Ensure there are
no major obstructions or fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The
antenna relies on direct “line of sight” satellite reception. If you are unsure that the
chosen location is suitable it may be advisable to mount the antenna in a temporary
manner to verify correct operation. The thread used on the antenna (1 inch, 14 TPI)
is an industry standard thread used on a wide range of mounting brackets, including
the swivel joints commonly used for angled surfaces. However due to the manufacturing process of these mounting brackets you may see that there is some slop when
tightening down the antenna to the bracket. This is of no concern however as the
antenna must be tightened until the antenna stops rotating on the antenna mounting
bracket.
The antenna design also allows for easy flush mounting.
1. Drill a ¾ inch hole in an area that was verified to receive satellite signals well.
2. Unscrew the base of the antenna and remove the gasket.
3. Thread the cable though the hole and route to the plotter.
4. Apply a small coat of RTV to the underside of the antenna where the model
number sticker is located.
5. Insert the shaft of the antenna into the hole.
Figure 2.1 - GPS Antenna
2.2 CONNECTING POWER
Before making connections to the chart plotter, check for the correct voltage (10-18V
dc), the correct polarity and be sure the 2A fuse is wired in series on the Black wire.
Connecting the fuse in the black wire protects the NMEA data output wires from
becoming damaged if they are accidentally touched to the red wire (+battery
connection). If the other wires are not used or if the installer is aware of this the fuse
may be used on the red wire from the chart plotter.

Figure 2.2 - Power On
2.3 OPTIONAL C-MAP NT+ CARTOGRAPHY
STANDARD HORIZON has taken advantage of C-MAP’s experience with professional navigation, by allowing the use of the refined and improved cartography called NT +.
The new cartography of NT+ makes creative use of colors, patterns and icons to
increase the familiarity and usability of the much larger coverage database of NT +. NT+
is supplied by C-MAP in four sizes Local, Standard, Wide and SuperWide. For
convenience the older NT and the NT+ are both compatible with all STANDARD
HORIZON chart plotters. Contact C-MAP USA at (508) 477-8010 or visit www.cmap.com for further information on NT+.
2.4 INSERTING THE C-CARD

3.15 TERMS AND FUNCTIONS
3.15.0User Points Handling functions
User Points are geo-referenced objects that can be placed on the Chart page by the
user. Typical User Points are Marks and Waypoints. User Points have selectable
shape, label and color.
Example of typical User Point shapes:
Figure 3.15.0 - User Points icons
User Point colors is to be chosen amongst the colors not already used to fill the charts
(Depth areas, Attention area, in order to make User Points better visible when placed
on the charts).
Page 52
GPS Chart 150C
3.15.0.0 Marks
Marks are individual points typically placed under the cursor position or by entering
their coordinates manually. Marks are identified by an icon and an alphanumeric label
(10 characters). Marks can be moved to different locations, can be deleted and their
label and icon can be changed.
In STANDARD HORIZON chart plotters Marks can be linked to Routes.
3.15.0.1 Waypoints and Routes
Waypoints are points belonging to a Route. Waypoints are like Marks but they are
always linked to other Waypoints to build a Route.
Many chart plotters allow linking existing User Points (Marks or Events) to the Route.
The user can delete each Waypoint of the Route individually, delete the whole Route,
move Waypoints of the Route and insert new Waypoints between existing ones.
STANDARD HORIZON chart plotters allows storing Routes of 20 – 30 Waypoints
each.
3.15.0.2 Destination point
The Destination point is the point to which the vessel is navigating. It can be placed
in any location on the map. If the cursor is on a Mark or a Waypoint in a Route the
Destination will be placed on the selected User Point.
If the Destination is not placed on any existing User Point the chart plotter creates a
“direct” Destination that will be deleted when the navigation to is stopped.
Route Following
Placing the Destination on a Waypoint allows Route following. The user can decide
the Route following direction.
When the Destination is reached, the chart plotter changes the Destination to the next
Waypoint on the Route.
3.15.0.3 MOB
MOB is a special Event that identifies the Man Over Board. It is placed at the vessel’s
position. Normally when the MOB marker is placed the chart plotter stops navigation
to the selected Destination point (if present) and sets the MOB as new Destination.
3.15.0.4 Measure DST- BRG
Allows measuring the Distance and the Bearing between two points on the Chart page.
This function may be turned on and off by:
“MENU” + GENERAL SETUP + “ENTER” + MEASURE DST & BRG + “ENTER” +
ON (or OFF) + “ENTER”
To use this function:
1. Press “CLEAR” until th Chart page is shown.
2. Move the cursor to the first point and press “ENTER”.
3. Move the cursor to the secind point that you want to measure the Distance between
and press “ENTER”. A pop up window will be shown that indicates the distance
between the two points and the bearing from one point to the other.

3.15.4.0 Map Customization
STANDARD HORIZON has taken advantage of C-MAP’s experience with professional navigation, by allowing the use of the refined and improved cartography called NT +.
The new cartography of NT+ makes creative use of colors, patterns and icons to
increase the familiarity and usability of the much larger coverage database of NT +. NT+
is supplied by C-MAP in four sizes: Local+, Standard+, Wide+ and SuperWide+ (some
product types are only available in certain markets. Refer to local NT+ catalogs for
availability in your area). For convenience the older NT and the NT+ are both
compatible with all STANDARD HORIZON chart plotters. Contact C-MAP USA at
(508) 477-8010 or visit www.c-map.com for further information on NT+.
STANDARD HORIZON has incorporated new functions to aid your navigation and to
improve the look and feel of the data display to closely resemble actual Charts. The
following sections will discuss each of the improvements.
Page 58
GPS Chart 150C
3.15.4.1 Display Settings

change. When in Cartography Off, it is also possible to have virtual cartography
between two subsequent scale levels with charts.
Mixing Levels: Enables / Disables the Mixing Levels. The default setting is Off.
When the map coverage at the current zoom level does not fill the entire screen,
the chart plotter draws the rest of the map expanding the cartographic information read from, at most, two zoom levels above the current zoom level. For this
reason the map is drawn three times: firstly it draws the two levels before the
current level and then the current level. The area covered by the cartographic
data read from the previous levels is identified by a dotted pattern. When the
cursor is moved on an area not covered by data of the current level and the
Cartography item is switched Off, the chart plotter zooms out to the first level
covered by cartographic data. When the Cartography item is switched On, the
cursor can be moved on the areas obtained from the previous levels but no
information is provided on the objects found on that area since it is considered
not suitable for navigation at that scale level.

received from the positioning device is under that threshold, the chartplotter
displays zero.
- Differential Correction Source: None / RTCM / WAAS.
- - None: No correction applied.
- - RTCM 104 Input.
- - WAAS: Correction from WAAS satellite. WAAS (Wide Area Argumentation System) is a system at the moment composed by 2
satellites that reduces the fix position error down to +/- 5 meters. The
WAAS satellites Ids are numbered 120 and higher.
For all other items see Section 3.14.1.
3.15.4.8 Alarms
Allows setting Arrival, XTE, Depth, Anchor and Grounding alarms.
The chart plotter sounds an acoustic alarm and shows a warning message when any
of the above alarms goes off.
Arrival Alarm: Sets and acoustic alarm to sound when the vessel is approaching
the destination. The user can select the desired alarm range or disable the
alarm.
Page 64
GPS Chart 150C
XTE Alarm: Sets an acoustic alarm to sound when the vessel is deviating from a
defined course. The user can select the desired alarm range or disable the
alarm.
Depth Alarm: Sets an acoustic alarm to sound when the received depth value
(from a depth sounder with NMEA output) is too shallow. The user can select the
desired depth alarm limit or disable the alarm (a line representing the depth
alarm limit is drawn on the Depth Graph).
Anchor Alarm: Sets an alarm to sound when the ship moves off a selected
location. The user can select the desired alarm range or disable the alarm.
Audible Alarm: Enable disable the alarm beep.
Grounding Alarm: The chart plotter is provided with a function that, by querying
the maps data, verifies potential danger to navigation due to shallow water, land,
rocks, obstructions and shoreline constructions. The maps are scanned periodically (every 10 seconds).
When the Grounding Alarm is active, the chart plotter scans an area in front of
the boat. This area is identified by a triangle drawn in front of the boat icon whose
direction is determined by the current boat heading. The length of the triangle
is user selectable and its angle is 30 degrees.
If any of the above objects are found, the chart plotter notifies the danger on a
dedicated warning message box in the Grounding Alarm Report page.
Entering a value in the Grounding Alarm item activates the Grounding Alarm.
The Grounding Alarm is switched Off by default after a Master Reset. Once the
Grounding Alarm has been activated, a warning message is shown.
NOTE
- The Grounding Alarm function only operates with the new NT+ C-CARDs. It also
affects the speed of the redraw of the screen. If this function is not used it may
be disabled.
- When any of the objects checked are found for the first time, the chart plotter
shows a pop up window to alert the user of the possible danger. The name of each
new dangerous object found is reported in the warning window. In the Grounding
Alarm Report page the relative item has a tick marker next to it, to identify the
dangerous object currently detected. If in the next search cycle the same objects
are found again, the alarm window will not be shown. Instead, if in the next
searches the objects found before are no longer detected, their relevant item in
the Grounding Alarm Report page is cleared (note that in this case, if the same
object type is found again later, the Alarm will be shown). The chart plotter shows
an icon on the charts that identifies when a Grounding Alarm is detected.
Grounding Alarm Range: Allows setting the length of the sector to be detected
among 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 Nm. The default setting is 0.25 Nm. When any of the
searched objects is found in the scanned area, a tick marker is printed on the
relative box in the Grounding Alarm Report page to identify which dangerous
objects have been currently detected.
Grounding Alarm Report: Allows displaying the report of the dangerous objects
currently detected.
